Transformative Role of Remote Sensing in Advancing Horticulture: Optimizing Sustainability, Efficiency and Resilience

The field of horticulture, vital for addressing global challenges like food security and sustainable agriculture, has been revolutionized by remote sensing technology. This comprehensive review explores the transformative impact on emphasizing its role in optimizing resource utilization, promoting environmental sustainability, mitigating effects climate change. Remote sensing, encompassing a range sensors, satellites, data analysis techniques, enables collection critical information from distance, providing insights into crop health, soil conditions, water availability, more. Precision including use GPS GIS, is integrated with to enhance agricultural efficiency while minimizing impacts. Site-Specific Crop Management (SSCM) highlighted as key component precision enabled geospatial technologies, sensing. It discusses how systems, their multispectral multi-temporal capabilities, support various horticultural applications such yield estimation, abiotic biotic stress management, classification, canopy measurement, area even insurance validation. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Global Positioning System (GPS) tandem explored context spatial analysis, mapping, precise navigation.
